The Detroit Red Wings took to the ice on Friday, after Thursday’s 6-2 win over Buffalo and prior to a slate of 3 exhibition games occurring over the course of 3 days and nights.
The first group of Red Wings skated around 10 AM, and DetroitRedWings.com’s Ethan Sears noted the following:
Fwiw (and it probably isn’t worth much), Lucas Raymond and Joe Veleno are on the ice with the Red Wings’ early practice group, which is comprised primarily of Grand Rapids players. Both played last night.— Ethan Sears (@ethan_sears) October 1, 2021
The big boys didn’t take to the ice until just before noon:

Suter at C here not Fabbri, my bad — old habits putting Fabbri in the middle from last year— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) October 1, 2021
